From the Paper:

"The Department of Defense issued a directive in 1987 with the intent of establishing a Civilian Equal Employment Opportunity Program, whose initiatives included affirmative action that was consistent with guidelines set forth by the EEOC and Office of Personnel Management (DOD, 2003). The directive also established special emphasis employment programs for the following groups: women, Hispanics, people with disabilities, people of Asian/Pacific Island descent, Indian/Alaskan Natives and an African American employment program. The directive was instituted in part to help recognize a need for equal opportunity programs and affirmative action programs as "essential elements of readiness that are vital to the accomplishment of the DOD national security mission" (DOD, 2003).
